Can high triglycerides cause heart attack?

As someone managing high blood pressure, my cardiologist always warns me that high triglycerides put extra load on the heart. Combined with BP, it can definitely elevate the risk of heart attacks. Regular blood tests and basic lifestyle modifications are absolutely necessary to keep ourselves safe.

High levels do indicate that the body is under stress, which can affect the heart. Please do not worry excessively, as a calm mind is the first step to healing. Eat simple, wholesome meals, take your doctor's advice, and let your body heal naturally.

My father recently had high triglycerides on his annual health checkup, and we were quite worried about his heart. Our doctor explained that while it raises risk over time, it can be managed. We immediately swapped refined oils for healthier options and started evening walks together.

I am a bit new to this topic and just got my blood report today showing high triglycerides. It sounds very scary to read about heart attacks. Can anyone suggest if changing food habits is enough, or do we always have to take strong medicines for this?

Please take this very seriously and do not ignore it. My brother ignored his high lipid reports for a long time and ended up needing an emergency procedure due to severe arterial blockage. Please see a cardiologist immediately and get on proper treatment.
